"x"; > "xNovember 09x" on windows: echo "x" . strftime("%m %C") . "x"; > "xx" and NOT as expected "xNovember x" with just the second conversion missing. ideally, the conversion specifier list could list if it's available on a specific platform. for people porting code from win to linux, this is a cruicial issue... thanks & keep up the great work!
